Joke's on you; I don't need this. At work I still frequently use a winXP box to compile stuff. But, impressive and awesome :)

I can somewhat understand having to compile for XP (it's been 20 years but... legacy, I get it). However compiling on XP must be hell. Do you mind me asking what you do that requires this?

I think a lot of embedded stuff still orbits around XP.

Not quite Win2k in the browser [0] but it's a pretty good simulation of Windows. Sounds like this would be a fun project for trying out new frameworks. It's missing one feature that's been in Windows since 1.0: closing an application by clicking the top left (icon) in the task bar.

Finally a way to play the real solitaire!
